| - "Screw Starbucks. I like small, independently owned coffee house places!"
This is what I wanted to say about The Beat Coffeehouse. Sadly, I cannot. This place takes non-entertained, couldn't care if the world outside was burning down, pfffffshhh like attitude to the next level.
I walked in to see a handful of people lounging around. Nobody was behind the bar so I walk in a little further. After finally locating the "Order Here" sign I stand and wait for someone to approach me for my drink order. A few minutes go by and a woman comes out from the back and starts chatting with a customer at the bar. After waiting a few seconds (possibly a full minute) I clear my throat and ask "Is this where I order?" She comes over, not acknowledging my question and asked what she could get for me. I asked for a large, black coffee with soy.
After I placed and payed for my order, there was a group of people who walked in and placed their orders immediately after I did. Guess who got their drinks first?
In all seriousness, I was waiting about five minutes before the woman who took my order asked "Have you been helped?". I said, politely "Yes, I'm waiting for my coffee". She said, "Oh, yeah. Hmmmmmm" then walked away and returned with a large, iced coffee with soy. Rather than argue about the drink order, I walked out.
Now, the coffee's flavor was GREAT. Better than any "drip" I've ever had at a Starbucks. But the experience was terrible.
